Why Are Jains SO RICH? | Wealthiest Community of India - Unravelled

Despite making up only 0.4% of India's population, Jains contribute a staggering 24% to the country's Income Tax collection and own more than 28% of Indian property. Popular names include Gautam #Adani, Dilip Shanghvi, Rajesh Mehta, and several more.
This video delves deep into the cultural, religious, and historical factors that have propelled the #Jain community to prosperity. Uncover how principles like Ahimsa (non-violence), Aparigraha (non-possessiveness), and an inherent sense of community play a key role in the Jains' impressive economic prowess.

You will find charitable Jain hospitals and schools in every neighbourhood. In Mumbai, 85% eyes and 95% skin is donated by Jains and Gujaratis (Source: timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/in-mumbai-85-eyes-95-skin-donated-by-gujaratis-jains/articleshow/19299085.cms) And although I could not find verify the sources, there are claims that they run 12,000 Goshalas in the country and contribute 62% to overall charitable donations. I am sorry that was your experience. While exceptions are always there, Jains truly are one of the most charitable communities.

​​​​​​​​​@@gauravjain183if you are talking about Mumbai then you will find that only Gujarati Jains are rich and good in business but Marathi Jains are middle class and not that good in business. In North India more than 90% Jains belong to the bania caste and we all know that Hindu or Jain all baniyas are rich and good in business. So it is the cast and the ethnicity which make them good in business not the religion. I am a Bengali OBC and if tomorrow I become a Jain then I will not become good in business but if a Marwari becomes Jain he will be good in business because he was always good in business.

One thing you did not talk about is the north and south Divide of jains. Jains can be categorised mainly into 5 linguistic groups: Gujarati, Marwadi, North Belt (UP, MP, Delhi), Marathi and Kannadigas. There are also negligible numbers of Tamilan and Bengalis (Saraks). Gujarati, Marwadi and north Indian jains have a good inter community relationship. And marathis, Kannadigas, and Tamils have inter relationship. The north and south don't actually intermingle with each other. You don't see North South jain marriages. But you see bania jain marriages, or south Indian jains marrying groups like lingayats, gowdas, Marathas etc.

Your statistics of 24% tax, own 28% of Indian property is a wild outrageous guess (or whichever news paper makes that claim). I know many Jains who are normal middle class folks, the biggest mantra for their success in my opinion ( which you have correctly pointed) 1) Joint family living amicably, this gives a tremendous psychological support and security, and allows one to take risk because they have a safety net to fall back on knowing they will have roof, food and their children will be taken care of in case things go wrong. 2) They have a tight community network by which getting credit, loan, preferred partnership is very easy. 3) They are not so much distracted by material trapping and vices and super focused on their objective. They take pride in charity not splurging money on extravagance or show off. 4) Lastly Satvik food may also be a factor as they say in business 'never make a deal when you are extremely happy or extremely angry or any such emotional extremity ' .Satvik food apparently keeps your mind in a balanced state of mind as I have heard.

Farming is not Ahimsa for them, but uprooting plants is. If you eat the fruits of a mango tree until it dies on its own, it is not Ahimsa. But if you uproot a plant in order to eat it, as in the case of onions or garlic, you are killing the plant BEFORE it's natural death - that is Himsa I hope this answers your question.

There is no truth in this statement that jains are not into farming as it is himsa. 1st tirthankar of Jain is Rushab dev and his vahan is bull ( just like Shiva or my be he is same as Shiva.

To the best of my knowledge Rishabhnasth Bhagwan was the First Teerthankar of Jains which is also mentioned in all Hindu literature. Rishabhnaath ji taught this world about 6 acitivities These were: (1) Asi (swordsmanship for protection), (2) Masi (writing skills), (3) Krishi (agriculture), (4) Vidya (knowledge), (5) Vanijya (trade and commerce) and (6) Shilp (crafts).[34][35][36] In other words, he is credited with introducing karma-bhumi (the age of action) by founding arts and professions to enable householders to sustain themselves.Even Acharya Vidyasagar ji who is the most reverted saint of Jains belongs to farmer family.Even all Teerthankar bhagwans of Jains are from Kshatriyas.

[@sauravdas7348]

It has nothing to do with religion. Only Jains belonging to trading classes are rich. The rest are just middle class. Caste plays a bigger role than religion. Please compare Hindus and Jains from the same caste background; you will find no noticeable difference in economic status. Also, there are many negative aspects of Jainism that nobody wants to discuss.

[@sauravdas7348]

@@yono4633 Jains are divided into multiple castes. Only the jain baniyas are prominent in business. Why not the rest? Are they lesser Jains? Jains are rich because they were born rich. It was always a movement of the rich and powerful. Common masses never adopted Jainism. The rules of Jainism are so impractical only the rich can afford it. There is no evidence of any kind of social movement of any caste after adopting Jainism. Yes, a few Kashtriyas did take to doing business under influence of jainism. So what? The entire khatri community which is derived from Khastriyas does business and are staunch Hindus. There are many examples of caste mobility within Hinduism that is better than Jainism. Please compare people from the same groups, Ex jain agarwals with hindu agarwals. You will not find any significant differnce in income and education. The entire scenario arises because they compare apples with oranges. And no jains do not pay 24 percent of India's taxes. There is no such data available. This lie is made up by Jains to massage their ego and is also repeated by their jain munis and institutions. So much for Satya and Astya. What about the Gujarati patels who are not from a business background and were mostly farmers that are upstaging them from the diamond trade?

What about Brahmins who hold most prestigious positions at power centres; media, judiciary, Bureaucracy, college/universities, business. Can you do study on that as they hold far more than their proportion. Apologies if this offend anyone, but I'm seriously curious over that.

you have to do deeper research..... very very peripheral thoughts.... Jainism was the major religion in Tamil Country before Bhakti movement brought Hinduism... your thoughts are limited to current day Jain's... No problem if you limit yourself to the last 300 years... Longevity in life needs to be attributed to availability of Medical Care rather than only on diet... Don't glorify unnecessarily.... there is a great difference from Tamil Jain's who were predominantly into agri to marwari and Guj Jain's into trading..... Very very peripheral thoughts.... stick to what you know for sure....

[@shankar_unravelled]

Sorry, but I never said whether Hinduism or Jainism came first in Tamil Nadu. That is largely debatable even among scholars of the subject. Moreover, the kind of medical care available to people today is largely the same, and the data clearly shows that Jains are living longer, so the other factor has to be diet - research confirms the same, too. The population of Tamil Jains is estimated to be 25,000-35,000: blogs.lse.ac.uk/southasia/2015/12/11/the-tamil-jains-a-minority-within-a-minority/ The total population of Jains per the 2011 census is 4,451,753. So, Tamil Jains are about 0.78% of the total Jain population of India. Yes, Tamil Jains were predominantly in Agriculture, but since the majority (remaining 99.2%) of Jains did not practice agriculture, I feel I am right when I say that the majority of Jains do not practice agriculture :)

And remember vegetarian jain food is inferior to meat and eggs. Because Meat is the most nutritious dense food on the planet. They are in business because they belong to bania caste. Nothing to do with agriculture. Agriculture is manual labour job. They become distributor of agriculture but not manual labour.

@@yono4633 absolutely wrong information. Contrary to popular claim Most jains are not Banias. Please check out the population of Marathi and Kannadiga Jains and their work in agriculture. It's because of the dominant nature of Marwadi and gujrati that jains are portrayed as such.
